Recent video footage from the Gaza Strip shows smiling children and grateful adults receiving food from American aid workers, challenging mainstream media reports about the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's effectiveness. Civilians interviewed at secure delivery sites describe improved access to food and supplies since the foundation began operations, with many expressing appreciation for the aid and security provided. The foundation's efforts stand in contrast to claims of chaos and wrongdoing, which were later revealed to be based on fabricated evidence from a disgruntled former contractor.

The campaign against the aid group is reportedly driven by Hamas and certain United Nations-affiliated organizations, with Hamas demanding the foundation's removal in ceasefire negotiations. Evidence suggests that civilians feel safer at U.S.-run sites, which are protected from interference and theft by Hamas, unlike United Nations distribution points. The foundation has distributed over 123 million meals, and its leaders emphasize the urgent need for expanded aid efforts to meet the growing humanitarian needs in Gaza.
